Answer

SLUSH

This word describes partially melted snow or ice, creating that wet, sloppy mixture you often see on roads and sidewalks during warmer winter days. It can also refer to flavored frozen drinks sold at convenience stores. The word likely comes from a Scandinavian origin, related to the Norwegian word for sleet.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky to guess. When you have confirmed several letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Many Wordle players forget to try double letters!
